“She gave language to the most sublime abstractions, clad water and fire in orchestral flesh, and suggested through sound the motions of atoms and sap.”
(Carlos Larronde, Le Soir, March 6th, 1931)

With Les Cygnes [The Swans] and the Symphonie de la Forêt [Forest Symphony], Rita Strohl sought a form of communion with nature, a decisive turning point towards a musical style that became increasingly symbolist and spiritual, which subsequently led her to compose grand lyrical and mystical works such as Yajnavalkya.

“Grand Prix de Rome for composition in 1923, Jeanne Leleu deserves a dazzling triumph that any other country apart from ours would have already brilliantly accorded her.”
(Le Monde, April 30th, 1947)

A child prodigy and virtuoso at the piano, Jeanne Leleu was chosen to premiere Ravel’s famous piece “Ma mère l’Oye” at the age of eleven. A brilliant composer, she wrote many masterpieces, songs, chamber music, ballets and symphonic works. Her pieces were performed at the Paris Opera and by the most important orchestras of her time, and she was unanimously acclaimed by her peers and by the critics. This first volume, devoted to her youthful works, will allow listeners to rediscover a major, unjustly forgotten figure in 20th century music.
